Alright, so I didn't want to hijiack the other FX 6 thread, so I apologize if this is redundant, but....
I AM SO EXCITED THAT I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET MY FX 6 DELIVERED UP HERE TO ME!!! I've been waiting since I purchased it on Black Friday!
First thought was OMG the box is huge. LOL! Second thought was after I took it out of the box and realized how massive it really was. Third thought was, how on EARTH am I going to get this thing up and running on my 55 gal. I'm worried, it won't be *too* much power for a tank that size will it? Do I have to "dial it in" for a tank that size? I notice there are knobs on the top (I'll be honest right now, i have not bothered to look at my users manual yet as I i haven't done much in the way of investigating it since it arrived over the weekend and I was busy. And i'm a ways out on setting up the tank as we need a stand built for it.) At about what height should this filter be sitting in relation to tank for water travel? Does it matter? I was hoping to keep it in the cabinet underneath the operations for a cleaner look, but if needs a rise, perhaps externally behind and/or next to the stand?
Anyone have set up pics they can share with the FX6 and any tips or supplies extra I'll need. I think I just got the filter and some tubing itself. I'll take it completely out of the box tonight and see what inventory it came with and get back with what I have in the box.
